Guest Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 What is your favourite kind of tea? Personally, I love green tea. Link to post Share on other sites
NickyTannock Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'd say Rooibos because I'm originally from South Africa, where I drank it regularly. Link to post Share on other sites
A. Sterling Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Plain English Awake Black Tea. Or Peach Iced Tea. Or Honey Green Tea. Depends on if I'm tired or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Asexual_Goddess Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Technically hot chocolate is cocoa bean tea... if it’s made in water... Link to post Share on other sites
CajunAce Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 herbal, fruity, spicy, and some black teas. Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hard to say... because what I love most about teas is trying all the different flavours. Perhaps I'll list my today's tea consumption so far: 1. Some herbal tea for allergy, I don't know how do all the ingredients translate. And it surely won't help much, but won't do harm anyway. 2. Lapsang Souchong (Chinese smoked tea) with Earl Grey flavour. 3. Li Zi Xiang First Flush green tea. 4. Pu-erh tea with pomegranate and bergamot flavour. 5. Some herbal tea for blood circulation, see point 1. 6. Yerba mate with spices (cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper etc.). 7. Mint "fortified" with a bit of mint oil. 8. Rooibos with strawberry and vanilla flavour. 9. Fruit tea with apple, cherry, kiwi, cranberry and some other ingredients (without hibiscus, unlike most fruit teas). 10. Genmaicha (which is, by itself, green tea with roasted rice) with cocoa, coconut, malt, caramel, cookie and popcorn flavour... One of the examples of my teamania is that I never drink the same tea more than once daily. Link to post Share on other sites

Captain_Tass Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Arizona iced tea, and iced tea in general. I know, I'm an uncultured swine when it comes to tea but I tend to not like anything that's been watered down and since tea is basically water and leaf juice (cue upset uncle Iroh) I find it a bit tough to drink regular tea, no matter how much sugar I throw in there. I've been wanting to try milk tea though. Also, I'm selling a fraction of my soul for the oddest/rarest fruit juice at the store. And I love coffee (lots of sugar, tons of cream though. @CustardCream, the flyperson shines through on my IRL tastes!) so I thought that I'd really enjoy plain tea. But yeah, no. Already bracing myself for all the "you uncultured swine"s thrown my way. Oh, I almost forgot! I once drank Turkish tea in Istanbul. It was quite nice! 46 minutes ago, Nowhere Girl said: Hard to say... because what I love most about teas is trying all the different flavours. Perhaps I'll list my today's tea consumption so far: 1.

SweetTart Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Any kind of sweet fruit tea! I love the smell of herbal teas, but I don't like the taste at all lol. I may make a cup when I'm sick just to smell and relax Link to post Share on other sites
Ennis Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I only like consensual tea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ What kind? Fresh peppermint or sage from the garden. English breakfast or Darjeeling (milk second, no sugar). Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Rooibos is the only tea I drink. I always put rice milk in it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ace of Mind Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'm personally fond of tea made using only espresso powder. For some reason, people keep telling me I'm doing it wrong though... *shrug* *sips espresso* Link to post Share on other sites

everywhere and nowhere Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 24 minutes ago, Life Of Tass said: Sounds interesting! I'd like to try that too! Rooibos is very nice, has a natural sweet flavour. I have completely stopped adding sugar to any teas (maybe once in a loooong while I may add some sugar to a particularly sour fruit tea), but anyway - rooibos is so sweet by itself that there's really no point in adding sugar. (Although... once I had rooibos with lemongrass, lemon peel and cardamom, which was a disappointment. The cardamom pretty much couldn't be tasted, but the lemon additives made the tea so sour that I would prepare it with some tangerine syrup.) As a "higher school of driving", as it's called in Poland: there are two kinds of rooibos. You know the difference between black and green tea, yes? They both come from leaves of Camellia sinensis, but black tea is oxidised before drying and green tea isn't. Rooibos comes from leaves of Aspalatus linearis and "ordinary rooibos", which is indeed reddish-brown (the name means "red bush" in Dutch), is made in a way similar to black tea. Unoxidised rooibos is greenish and has a more herbal-grassy flavour. Available rather as loose tea, nt in supermarkets, but worth trying. There is also honeybush, made from leaves of Cyclopia intermedia. It too comes from South Africa and has a yet sweeter, more honey-like flavour than rooibos. It too can have a green variant, but I have yet to try green honeybush. And don't worry too much that you have been "uncultured" when it comes to tea. I, for example, just cannot appreciate coffee, I can't stand its taste. By the way, right now I have drunk rooibos (red) with pieces of candied green lemon, papaya, banana, saffron, and sunflower, cornflower and rose petals. Very nice and refreshing.

ShyFeather Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Sakura hojicha. It's roasted green tea mixed with cherry blossom flowers. It has a smooth floral taste, and since it's roasted it has less caffeine than regular green tea. Link to post Share on other sites
